There Is Something on Your Mind - James Cotton

There is something on your mind

By the way you look at me

Something on your mind oh honey

By the way you look at me

Can what you're thinking

Bring happiness or will it bring misery

No no please don't try to tell me

I think I'll understand

Girl girl you don't have to tell me pretty baby

I think I'll understand

You want me to try and forget you

But I'll do the best I can

You know it's so hard to be in love

And then someone you love don't love you

Until it gets a heavy burden on your heart

To know that somebody's rocking your cradle

Better than you can rock your own cradle yourself

It ain't but one thing left for you to do

Pack your clothes turn around

Walk slowly out the door

Look back over your left shoulder

Hang your head and think

If you ever think about me

If I ever cross your mind

Girl girl if you ever think about me pretty baby

If I ever cross your mind

Well you know you know I'm yours

And I know you're mine

After you can't stand it no more

Then you go on downtown to the pawn shop

And buy yourself a pistol

Then you make it back up on the scene

Where your loved one and your best friend are now together

You walk right in you kick down the door

Shoot him can't shoot her knowing if you shoot her

All of your longtime life and love is gone forever

By the time you make it up in your mind for to forgive her

In walks with another one of your friends through the door

Know this gonna hurt you till your heart

And you go right ahead and shoot her

Then you say baby baby oh baby I'm sorry

But if she don't love you know what she say

But if she love you she'll look up at you

With her last dying breath and say

Do do do do hmm oh yeah yeah

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah baby hmm
